The term team is Old English team "descendant, family, race, line; child-bearing, brood; company, band; set of draft animals yoked together," from Proto-Germanic *tau(h)maz (source also of Old Norse taumr, Old Frisian tam "bridle; progeny, line of descent," Dutch toom, Old High German zoum, German Zaum "bridle"), probably literally "that which draws."

How to run a team? Be consistent. Focus on accuracy, thoroughness, and clarity in all communications. Set a goal for the team. Publicly reward and praise. Set the example for the team. One-size does not fit all. Be transparent as possible. Encourage creativity. Elicit opinions and ideas. Ask questions and listen. Have fun.
